This and that…need some knit patterns for after the holidays?

sock money

Need some help finding patterns? Knitters Review gives us a lift of seven great little knitted items, hats, neck warmers and a cute little mouse.

From Knitty Winter of 06 it’s Norberta the Dragon by Kate Kuckro, and her blog SimplyCrafted.com

Kate also had her Toasty pocket creatures in Knitty winter 05, cute and quick

From Crafts on Toast a super cute Bender pattern! (from Futurama)

Who can’t use another HackySack? This is a knit pattern for them from Sharon at ShazzasPatterns blog. I have crocheted them before but never knitted.

From Cosmic pluto knits, here is a shawl pattern that only takes 350 yards / 320 m of fingering weight yarn, (you can use your handspun!) Reversible and fast and beautiful! It is the Milkweed Shawl. Destined to become a classic by anyone that knits it! She also has LOTS of other great patterns!

I love this The Thing Pattern, for your comic book or Fantastic Four fan, by Knittycat.vox. Please check her blog out.

From ChezPlum a sweet little lace purse. The Isabeau purse is a quick little knit, using a very easy lace pattern. It’s an ideal project to use up odds and ends, as you’ll need only one skein of yarn (approx.100-120 yds)+

Review of a Kick Spindles Or Mother Marion to spin

When I made the decision to buy a Kick spindle I could find very little info on it, anywhere. Below is what I gathered, bought and my experience with mine. I could only find two being marketed, since I purchased mine I have found a third. Below is my views on the Kick spindle I purchased (Little Meggie from Heavenly Handspinning), and some info on all of the other Kick Spindles that I could locate. Links and costs are included. Review: Things I like about my Kick Spindle. 1. Long spin time, I like the addition of the ball bearing. 2. Leaves both hands free to draft 3. It's my "wheel" 4. I like using my foot, I am moving around and don't get stiff from one position. It's a very "active" type, rhythmic motion. 5. You can actually stand and use it also. 6. Great price point. 7. I have never spun on a wheel and when I sat down at one the first time, I could actually spin (some) I think this action of foot/hand coordination helped. 8.

Aran Shrug, Bridesmaid Wrap, Baby Bunting Pattern free

Here is the start of my "Bridesmaid wrap" from " Wedding Knits " by Suss Cousins. I am making it out of heavier yarn, From Handpainted yarns I love the yarn it is so soft and the colors are beautiful. The wrap is made in mohair in the book. I plan on making it a shorter wrap, due to the heavier yarn. I hope it turns out OK . If you check out the book link, there is photo of it. If you want a free Bridesmaid wrap pattern this is a lovely one from Knitty! I made this baby bunting, on the spur of the moment, just playing around. I used one skein of red heart yarn, and a small amount of the fun fur yarn in a coordinating color. Cast on 80 stitches at 4 sts /inch. Knit in the round, until 24 inches long. If you would rather knit flat, knit even rows, purl odd rows. Add Fun fur yarn, or other novelty yarn for the last 10 rows. Bind off, using a very loose bind off. I like to use the Elizabeth Zimmerman method of the Sewn Bind off
